Synopsis:
In the wake of Thrawn's
death, a cadre of Imperial warlords begins an all-out
assault on Coruscant. In addition, mail courier Taryn
Clancy is stuck under the planetary shields with the
rest of the planet's population. With the Republic's
defences and communications completely cut off, Clancy
finds herself drafted into service by Garm Bel Iblis as
part of the Republic's evacuation. She will send word to
the other fleets of the Republic of the evacuation and
flight to a new base.
Clancy and Colonel Bremen set out as the shield falls,
flying right into a monstrous armada of Imperial ships
and just barely making it to hyperspace. They travel to
Coriallis, only to get snagged by an Interdictor. She
talks her way out of trouble, and make their way to what
was supposed to be a fleet rendezvous in the
Borderlands, only Mara Jade shows up instead and tells
her to go home. A Carrack cruiser arrives, and they have
to jump to the fleet's new location. They discover a
homing beacon too late, as the Carrack follows them to
the fleet. The Rebels shoot them off, and Bremen offers
Clancy a job as a Republic pilot. She says she will
think about it.
